Alternative feed additives have promising importance in broiler production due to the ban on the use of certain antibiotics. The most used antibiotic alternatives in broiler production are phytogenics, organic acids, prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes, and their derivatives. Antibiotic alternatives have been reported to increase feed intake, stimulate digestion, improve feed efficiency, increase growth performance, and reduce the incidence of diseases by modulating the intestinal microbiota and immune system, inhibiting pathogens, and improving intestinal integrity. Simply, the gut microbiota is the target to raise the health benefits and growth-promoting effects of feed additives on broilers. Therefore, naturally available feed additives are promising antibiotic alternatives for broilers.
Note: Considering broiler is grown in ideal environment and in second scenario broiler is grown in this world with little
For reducing the cost of feed with minimal stress on bird and with maximum weight gain is there any specific or thumb rule formula for calculating minimum or maximum daily feed required (gram/day or gram/bird weight) that bird can fully utilize it nutrition without losing the excess of feed nutrition in feces. ...
Introduction The poultry industry has experienced unprecedented growth in the past 70 years due to improved genetics, nutrition, housing, water quality and veterinary care driven by post-WWII consumer demands (Havenstein, et al., 2003). Modern-day poultry efficiently convert feed to meat and eggs, but genetic selection for improved performance may have inadvertently selected for a negative correlative response to other traits such as immune function (Cheema et al., 2003). The reader...

Broiler chickens show better growth and reduced liver problems when given brown seaweed extract or meal during times of heat stress
Chickens don’t do well in the heat. In fact, birds experiencing heat stress tend to eat less, grow slower, and even have compromised immune function. Heat stress is also a major cause of mortality for chickens and leads to considerable economic losses each year in the poultry...
Introduction Blackhead disease, also known as Histomoniasis, is an important poultry disease caused by Histomona meleagridis, which is a protozoa that spreads in the bird by the roundworm Heterakis gallinarum, and infects the cecum and liver. Turkeys are highly susceptible to this disease. Although mortalities in turkey flocks reach 80-100% and economic losses exceed 2 million USD/year, there are lack of approved drugs against blackhead disease. Therefore, phytogenic compounds...
Sebastian Decap (Plantae Labs SpA) comments on this disease and the process of encapsulation for this additive so it can reach the ceca, in this interview during IPPE 2023 in Atlanta, USA....
A misconception may exist that the immune system is too complex or not sufficiently defined to be understood by those outside of hospitals, veterinary clinics or research laboratories. This review therefore aims to describe the cells and pathways involved in the immune system,...

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between in vivo amino acid digestibility and protease inhibitors in commercial soybean meal (CSBM). A total of 12 CSBM samples were analyzed for: (1) trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) utilizing the new official AOCS method (Ba 12a-2020). (2) chymotrypsin inhibitor activity (CIA) by the latest optimized method of Liu (2022. J. Food Sci. https://doi.org//10.1111/17503841.16141), and (3) in vivo amino acid (AA) digestibility...

Acidification of drinking water of broilers prior to processing is commonly used to reduce Salmonella entering into the plant, via crop contamination. This study evaluated an organic acid and essential oil product (OEP), when provided in the drinking water (3 ml/gallon) early and/or late in production, for reduction in S. heidelberg (SH) colonization in broilers. Eight hundred Ross x Ross day-old male chicks were assigned to 4 treatments in 32 floor pens, with 8 replicates per treatment and...

The overuse of antibiotics has led to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in poultry production. However, there are some additives, like probiotics and prebiotics, which can be used as alternatives to reduce the need for antibiotics. In that sense, how can we determine if feed additives are helpful for birds? Simply put, maintaining a healthy gut is crucial for the overall well-being of poultry, since it leads to better growth and immunity. That means that developing models to...
Actisaf SC 47 HR+ is a new generation yeast probiotic proven effective in poultry to support gut integrity. The studies outlined here demonstrate various performance benefits when Actisaf was fed even in the presence of various challenges. Specific strain selection and proprietary manufacturing processes allow Actisaf to...
Introduction Academia and industry have invested huge resources into defining both the nutrient composition of feedstuffs and nutrient requirements of meat and egg-type poultry. Both aspects are highly complex because of their dynamic nature. Nutrient availabilities depend on the genetics of each feedstuff, but also geographic region, weather, and growing conditions. These factors impact both the quantity of nutrients and the molecular structures from which those nutrients must...
